And since listening to your videos and knowing what you sound like, I can really hear you in your posts! <br />I'm at a bit of a parting in the road at the moment, seriously thinking about early retirement at 60 next year but knowing that I will miss the chat and gossip with the rest of the office. The socialising and interaction. Plus I love learning new things, even if it is just how to do something different in a report or an excel spreadsheet, I need to keep my brain cells active, so leaving work completely does kind of scare me a bit. I don't want to fall into a routine of not doing very much and slowing down. So my goal is to find a happy medium, to find things to stretch me, while enjoying not having to do the boring, mundane office based things. debs14https://www.blogger.com/profile/14521565769251816528noreply@blogger.com
